New Delhi: A surprising incident has come to light from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, where Chief Minister Mohan Yadav made a provocative statement during a Janmashtami celebration, declaring that living in India requires one to proclaim Jai Ram-Krishna. He said, if you want to live in India, you will have to say Jai Ram-Krishna. This declaration has stirred significant controversy and is viewed as a response to recent political upheavals in the region. In his speech on Janmashtami, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav also emphasized the need for adherence to law and order, declaring that the Madhya Pradesh government will not tolerate illegal activities. He stated, Now if you do illegal work and break the law, the Madhya Pradesh government will not tolerate it. The day we take oath, we take it with God as witness. I had taken oath with Jugalkishore as witness that whenever I will move forward, I will move forward chanting the praises of Lord Ram and Krishna. The Chief Minister framed his commitment to uphold the law as inspired by the principles of Lord Ram and Krishna, advocating a stern stance against those who challenge legal norms.Take a look at the video:भारत में रहना है तो भगवान राम और भगवान कृष्ण की जय कहना है- CM मोहन यादव@DrMohanYadav51 pic.twitter.com/Ip5x5afnSF— अभिषेक कुमार सिंह (@Abhishek834028) August 26, 2024State leader hits back at oppositionThe recent statement from the states head is perceived as a retaliatory move amidst the political fallout surrounding the Chhatarpur incident. Following the demolition of Haji Shahzad Alis mansion, the primary accused in the Chhatarpur Kotwali stone-pelting case, opposition parties have launched a fierce critique against the BJP government, prompting a counter-response from the states leadership.Reaction of opposition In response to the Chief Ministers remarks and the demolition incident, opposition figures have condemned the BJP governments actions. The Congress party submitted a memorandum to the Director General of Police (DGP) of Madhya Pradesh, criticizing the use of demolition as a punitive measure and labeling it as unjust. Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, have also voiced their disapproval, arguing that such actions undermine the principles of justice and equality.What happened in Chhatarpur A controversy erupted in Maharashtra after Hindu saint Ramgiri Maharaj allegedly made derogatory remarks about Islam during a religious event in Shah Panchale village, Nashik district. In response, the Muslim community in Chhatarpur organized a protest on August 21, which unfortunately turned violent. A group of 300-400 protesters, led by religious leaders, marched to the police station to submit a memorandum demanding action against Ramgiri Maharaj. However, the situation escalated into a heated argument with police officials, culminating in the mob hurling stones at the police station. Following this incident, the local administration took swift action, demolishing the house of the main accused Shahzad Ali, citing unauthorized construction. The sequence of events has sparked tensions in the region, highlighting the need for peaceful resolution and respect for diverse beliefs.
